From what I've gathered here earlier, most of us seem to fit into some broad generalizations such as: (pre-ssri) hypersexual, anxious/anxiety, overactivity (oily skin for example), got pssd the second time we took ssri's and not the first. again not everyone fits these, but lots of people do. I know I do.

Literally every one of those describes me. Has this oily skin connection been discussed before?

Also, complete conjecture, but I read on Hackstasis that antihistamines can be used to combat oily skin... I'm wondering if there's a connection here - does anybody else here exhibit atopy symptoms such as hayfever/allergic rhinitis, or skin irritability (manifesting as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis etc.)?

I developed hay fever, allergies, rhinitis, and eczema/contact dermatitis a few months before I went on the sertraline that gave me PSSD. It stayed with me for the next five years before going away, but it does flare up from time to time.

I always had allergic rhinitis and very oily skin, but, a year I think, before my first problems started to appear, I mysteriously developed hives and dermatographism, now after some time off SSRI, the hives are better, but my skin still gets red if I rub something against it.

So after that 3-4 week point which IRONICALLY is the point where they "start working" and conferring serious "antidepressant" benefits correlates roughly with the direct ENHANCEMENT of histamine levels...something I think many of us have overlooked.As Me and Ghost have published on histamine before, it has a complex role in emotional and sexual function, histamine facilitates emotional functions but also STRESS via Histamine H1 - but also alertness and logic comes from that receptor...whereas histamine H2 and H3 have "facilitative" roles in male sexual function, H2 for libido and arousal, and H3 by reducing norepinephrine release and causing vasodilation.--> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7850330

I think excess dopamine does cause hypersexuality. When I was taking Abilify 7,5mg I was hypersexual. I mean really... I was horny all the time! I also started to gamble and eat more sweets (I’m never before have gambled and I don’t usually eat any sweets). When dose was lowered to 5mg hypersexuality, gambling problem and eating sweets stopped. Libido was still very high but I didn’t think sex all the time.

Even now with low libido, I'm the one amongst my friends who will turn his head 180° if a good chick passes by haha

same here I could masturbate more than 5 times a day, if in this day I hadn't sex and if I wasn't busy

Actually, a lot of people have this syndrome, but we care most cause we were hypersexuals. I have a friend that says she doesnt has libido now, but she doesn't complain much cause she didn't care much before she took ssri
